Rex - Border Collie Dog for Adoption in Joliet, Illinois

MEET REX – ONE EXTRAORDINARY BORDER COLLIE!

2 Years Old 38 lbs Male Border Collie

Some Border Collies are special, and then there’s Rex!

Rex is a stunning 2-year-old Border Collie who truly embodies everything we love about this remarkable breed. Intelligent, athletic, affectionate, and incredibly driven, Rex has the kind of natural talent that deserves to be recognized and nurtured.

And this boy has TALENT!

Rex is phenomenal with a Frisbee, displaying impressive athleticism, focus, and enthusiasm. He also has exceptional natural herding instincts, along with the intelligence and drive that make Border Collies such incredible working and sporting partners.

We believe Rex has tremendous potential to excel in canine sports or herding, and we would love to see him in a home where his abilities can be developed and he can truly shine!

But here’s another wonderful thing about Rex. He also has an off switch! Despite his drive and enthusiasm, he knows how to settle down and absolutely loves affection and being close to his people. He’s not all work and no play! This handsome boy has a loving, affectionate side that makes him even more special.
